Habitat and formation[]

Panaeolus fimicola can be found growing solitary to scattered in soil or dung, fertilized lawns and other grassy places, late spring to mid-fall. It is widespread and common across the Americas, as well as Europe and Africa. It has also been found in Turkey.[6] Panaeolus Fimicola will often appear during or after a cold rain.
